David DuBine explains that the January 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption ejected a massive amount of water vapor 52 miles into the atmosphere, creating a "global dimming" effect. Unlike land-based volcanoes, this underwater eruption has led to significant cooling and record rains in the Southern Hemisphere. DuBine warns that this will result in shorter growing seasons and reduced crop yields globally over the next two years.
